• "Having had a bike in Beijing for a few months, I thought I had explored all there was to see of the hutongs. How wrong I was! The Chihaner tour guide took us to the more well known spots as well as areas that were very tucked away including a fantastic local food market where we tried some unchartered Beijing fare, and a kite-making workshop. All in all a revealing adventure, if only I could remember the route!"——Adam Watkin, United Kingdom

• "The hutong tour was a great way to get to know a side of the city I had never seen before. I had been in Beijing for over four months, but as a student, you don’t really get a chance to explore these lesser known areas. Sparky, our guide, was great and provided some informative narration throughout the trip. I would recommend the tour to both new comers and seasoned Beijingers alike."——Saul Trejo, United States

• "An amazing journey to the Great Wall! I really enjoyed this relaxing visit to one of the most authentic parts of this famous Chinese landmark. No crowds, wonderful scenery, led by friendly guides… just a perfect experience."——Jean-Laurent FRANCESCHI, France

• "My wife and I have lived and worked in Beijing for more than a year before returning to our home country, Sweden. Two weeks before leaving we decided to participate in a cultural tour of Beijing. All of the tour guides were very helpful and knew a great deal about Chinese culture. What surprised me the most was the amount of care and attention our tour guide put into finding us the perfect place for a romantic dinner. We just want to say that you should definitely consistently going on a trip with these guys, they're great!"——Anders, Sweden

• "We were very pleased with our visit. These guys had a tremendous amount of knowledge of the local area, and combined with the energy and ability, they satisfied all of our needs. Highly recommended!" ——Jacques, France

• "I found them on Google and of all the companies that I sent questions to, they were the most courteous and professional. Their prices were some of the best and I noticed that the really cheap one of other companies didn't really offer much. What I liked best about them was the customizability of the programs. They had package programs but none of them really fit my time and needs. I e-mailed them one month before going to China and asked a ton of questions. They were very quick, patient, and understanding. They offered a lot of tips and advice for my trip to China - not just for the culture experience programs but also for many general topics in China such as environment, food, culture, and recent events. This was very reassuring to me! Of course the program was wonderful!"——Jennifer, United States

• "My boyfriend and I took the Hutong tour last month with Chihaner and could not have been more satisfied. I'm the type who usually doesn't bother with tours when on holiday but this one was suggested by a close friend. I was very impressed and will reconsider the helpfulness of tour guides. They provided us with loads of information that we never would have learned had it not been for the tour. They also presented the information in an amusing and unique style. We were also impressed by our guide's English skills. The only word that he wasn't sure how to pronounce was 'kiln'".——Stefania, Italy

• "We took a few programs with these guys during our last trip to Beijing. They are very knowledgeable about Chinese history, food, and language. Our guide was an excellent presenter and very patient and thorough despite our nonstop questions (for which I am slightly embarrassed about) about everything from Chinese customs to modern trends in cell phones. I highly recommend their programs. They will not disappoint you!" ——Enrique, Spain

• "I want to say that the program easily exceeded our expectation.

We really enjoyed our meals because they did not take us to the typical tourist restaurants. Our guides managed to find a good balance between our taste preference and the recommended local food. We were very glad to be able to taste some of the cuisines specific to the area.

Last, I want to stress to anyone that is concerned... unlike nearly all the other travel companies, they were truly a "NO SHOPPING STOPS" company! We never once stopped at a souvenir shop for tourists. Our tour guides were most helpful in pointing out the shopping areas which had the most honest merchants. A few times we even asked the guides to take us to places to look for specific items, and they were happy to do so." ——Marc, Belgium

• "Overall, it was a fascinating and memorable experience. I loved it and I am still enjoying all the memories and thoughts from it!

What I most appreciated about Chihaner was that you were able to find such knowledgeable and accommodating guides: the programs you chose for us were simply amazing, the food was best fit for our taste preference, and the shopping locations were great in quality and price.

Thank you to you and the entire team at Chihaner. We couldn't have had such a great time without you!"——Vincent, Holland
